Which term denotes a movement that combines a pose and a développé from a held position?

• A. Grand jeté
• B. Relevé développé
• C. Posés développés
• D. Piqué turn

Answer: (C)

The movement described is a posé développé. In this term, you begin from a held pose (a stable, prepared position) and then draw the leg through a passé into a développé, finishing with the leg extended. It explicitly combines both elements—holding a pose and then developing the leg from that position—so the name reflects the sequence you’re executing. Grand jeté is a leap with the leg extended through the air, not about starting from a held pose. Relevé développé involves a développé while in relevé, not necessarily from a held pose. Piqué turn is a turning movement on pointe with a step that pokes the foot to the floor, not about starting from a pose and developing the leg.
